Pulp's UI has now changed. There's a new screenshot the demostrates the changes. As development continues, the interface will change some more. Here's a list of the upcoming changes:

Pulp is now offically in the beta stage of development. Supported audio/video playback formats are as follows:
AUDIO
aiff, flac, ogg vorbis, mp3, and wma.
VIDEO
mpeg1/2, mp4, wmv and avi.

Keep in mind that Pulp is still very young and far from finished. Here's a sneak peak at major Pulp features to come: CDDB access, burn CD-R/RW, Apple iPod support and DVD read support.

note: wma and wmv are currently only avaliable on the Windows platform.

The outage of Sourceforge's CVS servers have delayed the applying of new code to our repository. However, Pulp still continues to grow rapidly in it's development. Some key changes to Pulp include: FLAC audio format is now officially supported and Pulp officially supports both ALSA and OSS sound architectures on the Linux platform. Screenshots to show progress in Pulp's development will be posted shortly.
